Mémoire de guerre et construction de la paix by Serge Jaumain,Eric Remacle Pdf

Mémoire de paix pour temps de guerre by Dominique Villepin de Pdf
« Depuis quinze ans, le monde semble emporté dans une folle course à la guerre. Le Moyen Orient est pris dans une spirale suicidaire sans fin, le terrorisme international nous défie, de grands empires entrent en confrontation. Le virus de la guerre est en nous, rendu plus agressif par les peurs, les humiliations et les colères. La crispation des nations occidentales sur leurs privilèges et sur une vision du monde dépassée ne peut qu’aggraver les maux. Toute ma vie durant, j’ai voulu mettre le travail de la paix au cœur de mon action. En 2003, auprès de Jacques Chirac, j’ai mené le combat de la paix à l’ONU contre l’intervention américaine en Irak, conscient des dangers de la vision néoconservatrice du monde. Nous devons apprendre à regarder le monde et à en comprendre les métamorphoses. A nous d’entendre ce qui anime aujourd’hui les peuples et les nations, en Russie, aux Etats-Unis, comme en Chine, en Turquie, en Côte d’Ivoire ou en Colombie. C’est au plus près de la réalité que nous pourrons mesurer la faillite des Etats-Nations et le jeu des revendications identitaires dans une mondialisation qui semble condamnée à l’accélération perpétuelle. Le moment est venu de s’atteler au travail de la paix, d’ouvrir les yeux sur les blessures du monde et de nous doter des outils pour construire un nouvel ordre, stable et juste. Des solutions existent, mais elles nécessitent de la patience, de l’imagination, de la volonté. Pour contrer les épopées mensongères de la guerre, nous avons besoin d’un récit de la paix, qui constitue le grand défi, le seul héroïsme possible de notre temps, adapté à un monde fragile aux identités blessées, en mal de réconciliation. J’ai la conviction que la France a un rôle à jouer dans ce nouveau monde, à condition de retrouver sa vocation d’initiative, de médiation et de dialogue, fidèle à son message et à son histoire. » D. d V.

I William Zartman: A Pioneer in Conflict Management and Area Studies by I. William Zartman Pdf
The work draws on wide-ranging area analysis to develop inductively new concepts and approaches for further use in explanation and application. Divided into two parts, it begins with analysis of revolution and socio-political unrest, followed by models of ethnic conflict and elite circulation in developing societies. It presents the cultural dialectic present in Islam. It then lays out the patterns of mediation and negotiation in managing and resolving conflict, culminating with an analysis of intractables. Part two on governance lays out the nature of world order, cooperation, and conciliation. It then turns to the challenges of identity, ideology, and interest, with some specific attention to the nature of borders and borderlands, and focuses on governance as conflict management and as negotiation. - This book encompasses a new analysis of a neglected part of International Relation, the prevention and management of conflict. - The book confronts sources and patterns of contentious politics with systems and methods of governance. - The book lays out a comprehensive conceptualization of the process of conflict management and negotiation, including questions of when as well as how.

Resurgence in Jane Urquhart's Œuvre ; [inspired by the 48th Conference of Professors of English at the University of Orléans (May 16-18, 2008) by Héliane Daziron-Ventura,Marta Dvorak Pdf
"This volume was inspired by the 48th Conference of Professors of English at the University of Orleans (May 16-18, 2008)."
This book enlarges the perspective of literary geography which tends to focus on the correspondence between the objective world the geographer addresses and its subjective rendering in art. Instead it considers how geography informs fresh aesthetic responses to space in contemporary Canadian literature, with specific attention to the writings of Alistair MacLeod, Jane Urquhart, Anne Michaels, Aritha van Herk, Rudy Wiebe, Robert Kroetsch and Thomas Wharton. This broadening leads to a series of interrogations: what blanks in conventional landscape writing does physical geography fill, and how? Where does the efficiency of geography lie beyond its scientific accuracy or descriptive relevance? Pondering the role of geography in a work of art therefore amounts to considering what makes geography work as art - is there such a thing as a poetics of geography? Because the place of the writer and the representation of space remain two central concerns in Canadian writing, the texts under scrutiny help elucidate the critical role performed by the «geographical imagination, » a phrase used by theoreticians as diverse as Edward Said, Edward Soja or Derek Gregory, in the fabrication of symbolic ties between Canadians and the land they have come to share.
Modern states - and novel multinational polities such as the European Union - have to contend with greater degrees, and more complex forms, of diversity. What elements keep complex, «post-national», political entities together? What are the ties that bind people together in a world where they cannot rely on the safety of established national identifications (if they ever could)? This collection of essays by leading political scientists, philosophers and legal academics from Canada and Europe provides a transatlantic dialogue on the ways in which complex states (such as Canada) and non-states (the EU) may broach the modes of difference and diversity that confront them. Authors engage in insightful «diagnoses» of contemporary forms and modes of diversity, as well as critical appraisals of a number of normative responses meant to answer these challenges. These responses range from «reasonable accommodation» and multinationalism to cosmopolitanism. They include the recognition of «post-national», «multinational» or «deterritorialised» democracy and constitutional patriotism, as well as plural or «denationalised» citizenship.
Norm Dynamics in Multilateral Arms Control by Harald Muller,Carmen Wunderlich Pdf
"Efforts to create or maintain rules to contain the risks stemming from an unrestrained multilateral arms race are at the core of a world order based on consensual norms rather than on a pure balance of power. Whereas security cooperation is conventionally considered to be motivated primarily by interest- and security-based factors, studies have shown that all actors use moral arguments and are deeply embedded in the normative patterns surrounding their realm of action. Norm Dynamics in Multilateral ArmsControl, based on research conducted by a large PRIF team led by Harald M
“Mouths on Fire with Songs”. by Caroline De Wagter Pdf
This book, the first cross-cultural study of post-1970s anglophone Canadian and American multi-ethnic drama, invites assessment of the thematic and aesthetic contributions of this theater in today’s globalized culture. A growing number of playwrights of African, South and East Asian, and First Nations heritage have engaged with manifold socio-political and aesthetic issues in experimental works combining formal features of more classical European dramatic traditions with such elements of ethnic culture as ancestral music and dance, to interrogate the very concepts of theatricality and canonicity. Their “mouths on fire” (August Wilson), these playwrights contest stereotyped notions of authenticity. In¬spired by songs of anger, passion, experience, survival, and regeneration, the plays analyzed bespeak a burning desire to break the silence, to heal and empower. Foregrounding questions of hybridity, diaspora, cultural memory, and nation, this comparative study includes discussion of some twenty-five case studies of plays by such authors as M.J. Kang, August Wilson, Suzan–Lori Parks, Djanet Sears, Chay Yew, Padma Viswanathan, Rana Bose, Diane Glancy, and Drew Hayden Taylor. Through its cross-cultural and cross-national prism, “Mouths on Fire with Songs” shows that multi-ethnic drama is one of the most diverse and dynamic sites of cultural production in North America today.
The Quest for Autonomy in Acadia by André Magord Pdf
Acadians remain one of the few North American historical minorities which has been able to survive as a distinct ethno-cultural and linguistic group. This fact is all the more striking since this people suffered a deportation and dispersion, and it does not possess its own territory, nor does it have a government of its own. Acadians therefore have continually had to face the issue of autonomy in all its varied forms. The central issue addressed by this book is an inquiry into the nature of the process which has maintained the unique Acadian minority in existence right up to the present day. This study differs from other multidisciplinary analyses of this community principally because it studies the historical continuity of the dynamic of autonomy that has evolved since the beginning of Acadia. The research for this complete chronological framework encompasses a number of intersecting disciplinary approaches at the historical, political, socio-cultural and existential levels. These differing perspectives are harmonized by their common objective of defining the process of autonomization, and the counter-process of heteronomization, which lie at the heart of each of the periods studied. These approaches allow critical openings between the framework of social history, power relationships and the fundamental aspirations of the minority.
Grant Dawson's analysis of political, diplomatic, and military decision making avoids a narrow focus on the shocking offences of a few Canadian soldiers, deftly investigating the broader context of the deployment in Somalia. He shows how media pressure, government optimism about the United Nations, and the Canadian traditions of multilateralism and peacekeeping all helped to determine the level, length, and tenor of the country's operations. His findings will undoubtedly play a seminal role in informing scholarly debate about this important period in Canadian diplomacy and military engagement.
